Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking.
First up, we’re looking at The Reef (Haifa). Water temp is sitting at 81°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a bit of a standout, a little toastier than we’re used to.
Honestly, I gotta level with you: the whole 16-day window is a real struggle. For the first week or so, the wave energy climbs up to moderate levels (127), but the trade-off is brutal. From Saturday 4th July right through to Sunday 12th July, every session gets tagged as “poor surf conditions.” Swell heights are hanging around 3 ft to 4 ft, but the period is short – mostly 7 to 8 seconds – so it’s weak, messy stuff. Winds are mostly cross or cross-on, which means the face is going to be chopped up. Tuesday 7th July afternoon does see a clean offshore wind (W at 12 mph) and a 3 ft swell from the west, but even then, the overall call is poor.
After Sunday 12th July, it gets even quieter. From Monday 13th July through to the end of the outlook on Sunday 19th July, swell heights drop to 1 ft to 3 ft, and the combined energy is weak (mostly 12 to 68). The period stays short – 5 to 7 seconds – so there’s barely any push. The Reef is an inconsistent spot anyway, and this run is a classic example of a blank spell that’s not unusual for this area.
There’s simply no standout session in this forecast. The winds are occasionally offshore, like on Tuesday 7th afternoon and Wednesday 15th morning, but the swell is too small and weak to make anything of it. If you’re desperate, that Tuesday afternoon with the clean 3 ft west swell might give you a few crumbly ones, but don’t expect much.
Hang in there. It tends not to stay this poor for long – forecasts can change, and we might see something better pop up.
Rusty.

Information about the The Reef (Haifa) Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for The Reef (Haifa) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at The Reef (Haifa) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our The Reef (Haifa) surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (The Reef (Haifa)) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for The Reef (Haifa) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
